Criminal Defense Attorney in Safety Harbor, Florida

Are you looking for experienced legal support after an arrest or charge? Venessa Bornost brings a perspective few defense attorneys can offer: she spent years as a law enforcement officer and later as a criminal prosecutor before moving to the defense side. That background means she knows how police build probable cause, how prosecutors evaluate a case's strengths and weaknesses, and — most importantly — where those cases are vulnerable.

Criminal Defense Serving Safety Harbor

Safety Harbor's small-town character means a criminal charge — even a first-time DUI or misdemeanor — can feel especially high-stakes in a community where everyone knows everyone. Cases are prosecuted through the Pinellas County court system in Clearwater regardless of where in the county the arrest occurred.

Venessa Bornost, P.A. represents clients arrested or charged in Safety Harbor and throughout Pinellas County on a full range of matters, including DUI (first-time, multiple, and felony), drug crimes, domestic violence, assault and battery, theft and fraud, weapons charges, and violent crimes — as well as bond hearings, expungements, license suspensions, and probation violations.

Every Case Is Fact-Specific

Each case is different because each case is fact-specific. Venessa reviews the police reports, lab results, witness statements, and any video evidence in your Safety Harbor case to identify weaknesses in the State's evidence, potential constitutional violations, and every avenue for reducing or dismissing the charges — while protecting your rights at every stage.
